About Us
The company’s mindset is as important as its achievements.
Congress Group is a prominent commercial real estate investment and development firm that’s been operating for over 40 years. With a track record of success, they have acquired developed, re-positioned, managed, and entitled more than 10 million square feet of real estate, which amount to a value of over $2 billion.
The company distinguishes itself not only through its achievements but also through its mindset. It was founded by a civil engineer who was initially involved in a real estate deal due to his ability to read and analyze building plans. This engineering background influenced the company’s approach to real estate development, emphasizing an integrated mindset.
Rather than simply acting as intermediaries between investors and construction managers, Congress Group believes in being fully involved in the design and construction process. They view each project as a combination of building a physical product and managing a financial commodity. This integrated approach ensures that they are deeply engaged throughout the entire development process.
Congress Group’s in-house talent and energy are key factors that set them apart in the industry. They approach projects with passion and entrepreneurial spirit, embodying the principles on which the company was founded. Their flexible and creative thinking stems from connecting diverse experiences gained from their noteworthy portfolio.
The company primarily focuses on high-quality office and multi-family assets. They have successfully navigated complex logistics and market cycles to maximize returns and realize the highest and best use of each property. Their commitment to value-added management is evident through numerous case studies, where they prioritize attention to detail and consider alternative solutions that traditional approaches may overlook.
To ensure a comprehensive perspective, Congress Group directly contracts with design consultants, not just relying on the architect to manage the designers. This allows for unrestricted collaboration where everyone’s opinions are expressed and valued. Congress believes that no detail is insignificant and aims to achieve the best design possible.
The firm has built a reputation for being on time and on budget. It is known for its trustworthiness among discerning investors who prioritize clarity of vision, sound business judgment, sophisticated analysis, and customized real estate strategies. Leveraging their cumulative years of experience and expertise Congress Group looks forward to undertaking new and exciting projects that contribute to shaping the urban skyline.
